The Deligne-Mumford compactification, M 0 , n ⎯ ⎯ ⎯ ⎯ ⎯ ⎯ ⎯ ⎯ ⎯ ⎯ ⎯ , of the moduli space of n distinct ordered points on ℙ 1 , has many well understood geometric and topological properties. For example, it is a smooth projective variety over its...

Even though Euler products of L-functions are generally valid only to the right of the critical strip, there is a strong sense in which they should persist even inside the critical strip. Indeed, the behaviour of Euler products inside the critical...

In this talk, we consider reaction-diffusion and patch epidemic models with mass action or standard incidence mechanism and study the impact of limiting population movement on disease transmissions. We set either the dispersal rate of the susceptible...

In 1770 Euler observed that 3 3 + 4 3 + 5 3 = 6 3 and asked if there was another perfect power that equals the sum of consecutive cubes. This captivated the attention of many important mathematicians, such as Cunningham, Catalan, Genocchi and Lucas...

Depth and width parameters of graphs, e.g., tree-width, path-width and tree-depth, play a crucial role in algorithmic and structural graph theory. These notions are of fundamental importance in the theory of graph minors, fixed parameter complexity...

The PIMS Math to Power Industry program is pleased to announce the Case Studies Virtual seminar. The primary goal of this project is to bring together graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and faculty members in the PIMS network who are engaged in...

In this talk, we will discuss the question of establishing CLTs for empirical entropic optimal transport when choosing the regularisation parameter as a decreasing function of the sample size. Importantly, decreasing the regularisation parameter...

Comparative genomics offers valuable insights into evolutionary biology, uncovering patterns such as whole-genome duplications, gene retention, and gene loss. Polyploidization, a widespread evolutionary process, plays a pivotal role in shaping the...

The study of surface gravity waves is crucial for understanding the formation of rogue waves and whitecaps in ocean swell. Waves originating from the epicenter of a storm can often be approximated as unidirectional. In this presentation, we will...

Christol's theorem (1979), which sets ground for many interactions between theoretical computer science and number theory, characterizes the coefficients of a formal power series over a finite field of positive characteristic $p>0$ that satisfy an...
